Montague then grilled Mr Kinnock on whether he believed recent figures showing net migration into Britain was at 330,000 were too high.

Dodging the question the Labour MP, who campaigned for Remain said: “I would like to see sector by sector dialogue. I would like to business, government, and trade unions coming together on a sector by sector basis.”

An exasperated Montague thundered: “OK but that number – you are not my answering my question which is about the number!

“300,000 plus does not seem too high for you?”

Once again Mr Kinnock dodged the question and instead said the blame lay at David Cameron and the Conservatives’ door for falsely promising to lower net migration to the “tens of thousands”.

Speaking in central London after being elected the new leader of Ukip, Mr Nuttall fired a warning to Jeremy Corbyn and Labour.

He said: “My focus is here, in the United Kingdom, on winning council seats and on getting Ukip backsides on the green leather of the House of Commons.

“I am my own man. I will be completely different to Nigel.

“My ambition is not insignificant: I want to replace the Labour party and make Ukip the patriotic voice of working people.”

Responding to Mr Kinnock’s comments Byron Davies MP, member of the Home Affairs Select Committee, said:

“This just shows once again that Labour have no interest in controlling immigration in the best interests of the United Kingdom. What we see is Labour completely out of touch with ordinary working people.

“Only the Conservatives can be trusted to deliver the right deal for Britain as we leave the European Union - and that must mean controls on the number of people that come to our country.”
